Delicious

I really enjoyed the vegetable peanut stew and the drink with hibiscus. Super nice to find something different in the neighborhood, rather than another Vietnamese restaurant. The food was prepared quickly, very flavorful, and filling with the rich peanut sauce. The sweet potato could have been cooked a bit longer, it was a bit tough, but still very happy with the meal. 4/5 ⭐ since they serve meat. Be careful of the hot sauce - it is HOT 🔥

sehr lecker, gemütliche Atmosphäre

Ich war das erste Mal da, aber sicher nicht das letzte Mal. Alle Gerichte gibt es auch als vegane Option. Wir sind sehr freundlich und aufmerksam umsorgt worden, das Essen war sehr gut, und die Atmosphäre entspannt und gemütlich. Super!

Sehr empfehlenswert!

Wir waren heute zum ersten mal im Bantabaa.
Alle von uns gewählten Speisen waren in den veganen Varianten. Als Starter hatten wir die HandPies mit Spinat. Zum Hauptgang gab es Domoda mit Süßkartoffel und einer wundervollen Erdnuss-Sauce. Dazu Benachin, wobei der Fried Rice ausgesprochen lecker war und auch die Kochbananen waren perfekt.
Zum Dessert hatten wir das ShortBread (ein wirklich großes Stück, reichte eigentlich für beide) und danach, weil die Verlockung riesig war, noch eine Portion Sweet PuffPuff, die den Besuch perfekt abgerundet haben.
Fast vergessen...
Ihr solltet unbedingt die Baobap-Limo probieren!

Wir kommen definitiv wieder!

Pros: Freundlichkeit, Leckeres Essen, Faire Preise

Tasty Gambian food and very good vegan options

Everything was very tasty. We especially loved the cassava fries and the hand pie.
They even serve a vegan banana bread for dessert!

Great!

Lovely vegan food, but it has no protein, my meal had only rice and vegetables and tasty fried banana.
Adding some soy or tofu would be much appreciated,
thanks!

A must if you're in Berlin

This place is such a hidden gem. If I could give it 5 stars, I would - every meal has a vegan option. The dishes are all so satisfying and tasteful that it works really well vegan. The food is really something else, and for this reason, I would say it's a must try for anyone living in or visiting Berlin - especially as a vegan, because it's not easy to find west-African restaurants with such a good vegan selection. The starters are entirely vegan and I can recommend all of them - especially the puff puff! You also have to try their homemade Gambian drinks for the full experience. Especially the baobab (coming from the fruits of the huge baobab trees) is something really special.

Pros: Special food, Friendly staff, Authentic experience

Cons: Can be quite full on weekends (reserve in advance), Be careful with their spicy sauce!😄

Very clear and varied vegan options

Every main dish has a corresponding vegan option. The peanut curry and spinach-peanut one were both great. Good flavour, and they give you a side of chilli paste to add if you want it spicy. The home made drinks are also nice. No alcoholic options either so if you are dry this is a good place

Pros: Many options, Spicy if you want it, Nice non alcoholic drinks

Great Food, Great Poeple

I wanted to try something special for dinner in Berlin and decided to try the Gambian kitchen at Bantabaa. Awesome food, super delicious. You need to try the vegan domoda! The staff is super friendly. Great place. I will definitely come back.

Pros: Best Domoba, Super Friendly Poeple, Delicious Food

Lovely restaurant and declicious food

The ambience is cozy, the staff is welcoming and the food is super tasty! There are plenty of vegan options - actually, the dishes are vegan by default and you can add on fish or meat (as opposed to restaurant where you have to ask them to remove it). It was the first time I tried Gambian food and I am already looking forward to the next visit!

Pros: delicious West African food, friendly staff, nice vibe
